Audio snips
I recently was creating a Flash ad and had the need for a fly buzzing about your head. I told my client, thats really going to annoy people, and drive them away, are you sure?
He said yes, so when you find a flash add with a fly buzzing about, I am sorry. Although I did get paid. I ran “Sound effects” for web sites and came across a host of sites. The trouble was, all the great sounds were difficult to obtain rights too. I could have just taken it, but I don’t dig that practice at all. So, I went back to some audio programming from yesteryear. Back in 1991 I bought a book called Programming the Sound Blaster, or something like it. I can’t recall. Anyway, it was pretty comprehensive for the card. So, I booted up my old 486 loaded the lesson a created the most annoying fly buzzing sound I could.
Now I feel like a geek.

Thank goodness for the mute button, huh?
I’ve encountered a fly ad here and there, but at least the encounters were random enough to not completely drive me nuts.

WHAT A Coincidence! So I’m just about to make a comment and write how much I HATE those stupid BUZZING FLIES on the advertisements. And there it is. At the top of this blog. How crazy is that!?! I had to reload the page just so I could write this comment.
Anyway, I hate those!!!!!!!!!!
